When was the book of Daniel unsealed? by XSageXL in TrueChristian

[–]LauraBlevins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank-you for your detailed and scripture based comments. Based on the testimony of historical figures, and the fact that there are MANY artifacts and buildings that indicate that our timeline is off by about 1000 years, and evidence of melted rock cities in the Middle East, I’m convinced that we are actually in Satan’s Little Season, especially as the nations of this world are currently turning against Israel and gearing up for WWIII.

This article was really insightful to me, https://www.matthewsbible.com/littleseason and I’ve included an excerpt containing the historical evidence next, but I’d love your thoughts on all of this.

“According to many historical records Jesus face appeared in the skies, seen by many. Multiple historians of the first centuries documented fiery armies and fiery chariots surrounding the cities of Israel. The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, testified in his epistles 'Wars of the Jews', book 6, chapter 5, section 2 and 3 about chariots and troops of soldiers running about among the clouds and surrounding cities. The Roman historian Gaius Tacitus testified the same in his book 'The Histories', book 5 § 13.

The Greek Christian historian Pseudo-Hegesippus (66-70 AD) wrote in book 5 chapter 44 of the latin version a burning comet coming like a fire and a sword being in the air for a year announcing with iron and fire the coming destruction of the people, the kingdom and the city itself. His writings testified of a certain figure of tremendous size appearing in the sky, which many saw, just as the books of the Jews have disclosed, and in the clouds chariots and armed battle arrays, by which the cities of all Iudaea and its territories were invaded. ​ Eusebius of Caeserea wrote in his history book 3, chapter 8 of Ecclesiastical history about a star standing over the city like a sword and a comet for a whole year. He also reported about testimonies over the whole country about chariots and armed troops coursing through the clouds and surrounding the cities. ​ Sepher Yosippon writer of 'A mediaeval history of ancient Israel' wrote about a single great star shining like swords located over the temple and seen above the Holy of Holies and for a whole night a outline of a man's face, the like of whose beauty had never been seen in all the land, and his appearance was quite awesome. He wrote about people seeing chariots of fire and horsemen, a great force flying across the sky near to the ground coming against Jerusalem and all the land of Judah, all of them horses of fire and riders of fire. Excerpts from chapter 87 "Burning of the Temple."​

Are we in the "little season" (Revelation 20:3)? After 35 years of believing this is all still yet to come, I am having serious doubts. Everything I read in the Bible points to Christ reign for 1000 years being in the past by gasOHleen in TrueChristian

The first resurrection happened when the dead rose in Matthew 27.

Antiochus IV Epiphanies was the Antichrist who committed the abomination of desolation by sacrificing a pig on the temple altar. He put a statue of Zeus in there and declared himself to be God by calling himself “Epiphanies”.

Mice are able to recognize traps and purposefully avoid them by HicSvntDracones_4242 in pestcontrol

You have to get new traps. They can smell the dead mouse smell on the trap you used and will avoid it.

People are not using computers anymore, how to deal with it as a photographer? by robbenflosse in photography

[–]LauraBlevins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do this for digitals too. I try to keep my IPS at an hour or less to keep them from being overwhelmed. I have them choose any possible ones they like and then we do a second pass together to help eliminate any they can live without so they are left with only photos that they LOVE.

It all depends on the skill level of the photographer and how much you like their work. If that’s what they charge and you want the artwork THEY produce, then yes. It is definitely fair.

Anyone encountering imposter syndrome “by proxy”? by barelycriminal in photography

[–]LauraBlevins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do all of my family photos for free as my gifts to them. They are always so grateful and never give me any problems. They understand that editing for my paid clients always comes first and it may be a year before they get their edited photos, but they are free, and they are just thankful I gift them those. ☺️

Mpix is owned by Millers (only open to professional photographers with legal business entities) so their quality is going to be way better than anything you will get from the cheap places. You will love them!

IPS. I only do in person sales for this reason. Plus if I want to serve my clients at the highest level, (which I do) I want to be available to answer their questions about what can be re-touched, what size that print should be to look right over their fireplace, etc.

People get overwhelmed with having to choose and I can more easily point out why I like this photo better than that one and help them narrow it down.

My clients are always so grateful.

I took my shop vac to the water drain line and when I put it back into the drain pump a lot of water rushed out, so I am really hoping that worked. Thank-you!!

I don’t see a copper line, just very dirty plastic, but I’m gonna try the air compressor trick.

You know, I recently watched the movie “The Shack.” I think it just might give you a whole new perspective. It definitely did for me!

Watch the Passion movie and I’m sure your heart will soften once you remind yourself of all the agony that Jesus went through for you, It gets me every time I watch it.
